Control board

A good way to work with a Controlix system control remotely would be a "control board", mimicking an industrial process control console and consisting of the following features:

• Text console/command shell
• GTKWave-like timing/stepping display and profiling
• JTAG-like debugging harness (clocking control, bus/register/memory snooping/scripting, etc)
• Test harness scripting and logging
• Build and config system interface

This would work well as an Eclipse plugin with sub-plugins.
